I do not know if this could help but... Pnuts is a Java-like scripting language that compiles into memory without using a Java compiler: http://javacenter.sun.co.jp/pnuts/ It is pure Java and my performance tests hint that it really has to be compiled as they announce - it is so damn fast!!! http://javacenter.sun.co.jp/pnuts/doc/pnuts_engine.html It integrates VERY well with Java. It is Open Source, Sun License: http://javacenter.sun.co.jp/pnuts/LICENSE.txt You can distribute it: Sun grants Licensee a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to download, install, compile, use, copy and distribute this Software, modify or otherwise create derivative works from the Software (each, a "Modification") and distribute any Modification to its customers with a license agreement containing these terms. I see no problems in the license but I am far from being an expert. Read it if you are interested. It is not so big.
